1. Which of the sports mentioned in the text are played in your country?

Britain does not often produce sportsmen or sportswomen who are successful in world sporting championships, but it has been good at inventing sports and writing the rules of games.

Two young people playing golf.

Golf was first played in Scotland in the fifteenth century and the most famous golf club, Saint Andrews in Scotland, is still the most respected authority on golf in the world.

British men playing cricket.

Cricket was first played in England in the sixteenth century and its rules were written in the eighteenth century. Today it is often played in schools, colleges, universities and by club teams all over the country. Summer isn't summer without cricket. To many Englishmen cricket is both a game and a standard of behaviour. When they consider anything unfair, they sometimes say: "That isn't cricket."

Nineteenth-century team sports, such as football, rugby and hockey, were first played in British public schools. The rules for all of these games were written between 1870 and 1890.

Britain's national sport.

Britain's national sport is football. During the football season (August to May) most professional footballers play two matches every week.

The 22 best English teams play in the Premier League, run by the Football Association (the FA). The other professional teams play in three divisions run by the Football League. Liverpool is the most successful team and have won the most games and tournaments.

The most exciting games are often between teams from the same city: Manchester United and Manchester City; Arsenal and Chelsea from London; Celtic and Rangers from Glasgow. The highlight of the football season is the FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium in London. Eighty thousand fans fill the stadium and there is usually a very good atmosphere. The most successful FA Cup team is Tottenham Hotspur. They have won the cup eight times.

The chief spectator sport in Britain.

Tennis tournament.

Next to football, the chief spectator sport in British life is horseracing. A lot ol people are interested in the races and risk money on the horse, which they think will win. The Derby is perhaps the most famous single sporting event in thewhole world. Britain is also famous for motor-car racing, dog-racing, boat-racing, and ever races for donkeys.

A great number of people play and watch tennis. Tennis tournaments at Wimbledon are known all over the world. The British also like to play golf, baseball, , hockey, and grass-hockey. Various forms of athletics, such as running, jumping, swimming, boxing are also popular.

Cricket is a popular summer sport in England but is not played much in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, but it is played in the Commonwealth countries of Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan and the West Indies.

Every year there are Test Matches between all these countries. A Test Match can last for up to five days. Usually the Commonwealth countries play much better and faster cricket than England.

Rugby is a type of football. It is played with an oval ball and players can both kick or run with it. There are two types of rugby: in Rugby Union there are teams of 15 players, who are amateurs, and it is played by England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland (a joint team from both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland), France, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. There are regular matches between these countries. In Rugby League there are 13 players in a team, the players are all professionals and it is mostly played in the north of England and Australia.

Can you explain the football fans’ behaviour at the stadium?

Football crazy

Football hooliganism refers to what is widely considered unruly, violent, and destructive behaviour by overzealous football fans. Actions such as brawling, vandalism and intimidation are enacted by association football club fans participating in football hooliganism.

A football firm (also known as a hooligan firm) is a gang formed for the specific purpose of antagonising and physically attacking supporters of other clubs. The behaviour is often based upon rivalry between different teams and conflict may take place before or after football matches. Participants often select locations away from stadia to avoid arrest by the police, but conflict can also erupt spontaneously inside the stadium or in the surrounding streets.

Football hooliganism can range from shouts, spitting and small-scale fistfights to huge riots where firms attack each other with deadly weapons (including, but not limited to, sports bats, glass bottles, rocks, knives, machetes and even pistols). In some riots, stones, bricks, flares, smoke bombs and even Molotov cocktails are thrown.

Football Crazy.

In some cases, stadium brawls have caused fans to flee in panic and injuries have been caused when fences or walls have collapsed from the pressure of the exiting crowd.

In some football riots, the chaos spreads to the city area surrounding the football field, and shop windows may be smashed, rubbish bins set on fire, and police cars may be overturned.

In the most extreme cases, hooligans, police, and bystanders have been killed, and helmeted, body-armouredriot police have intervened with tear gas, police dogs, armoured vehicles and water cannons.

1. Do you know that FIFA hard at work fighting hooliganism?

Sepp Blatter when he met FKF's Sam Nyamweya.

FIFA hard at work fighting hooliganism

Fifa President Joseph Sepp Blatter says that the fight against hooliganism and corruption is made difficult owing to the large section of the populace that is involved in the sport. He commented upon the situation.

1. As an institution, football has 300 million members, the same as the population of the USA.

2. With so many people involved, there will always be people who break the rules, that is something you cannot prevent. You cannot speak about a corrupt organisation based on the actions of individuals.

He, however, confirmed that his institution has put measures in place to fight the two vices. Fifa President says that they do everything possible to fight against it.

For example, they work together with Transparency International. The Ethics Committee combats and decides on any persons who are uncovered.

Furthermore, they have brought in the Swiss anti-corruption expert Mark Pieth to advise us on the prevention of corruption. Sepp Blatter thinks that hooliganism is a question of education and the organisation of security.

SPORTS AND HEALTH

Healthy lifestyle.

1. Read and translate the text. Get ready to answer the questions:

1. Why do teenagers like going for sports?

2. What are advantages and disadvantagers of taking up sports?

3. What are the most popular sports?

4. Do you enjoy sports?

5. What is your favourite kind of sport?

Nowadays, more and more people start to pick up sports such as football, badminton and squash. Besides that, some even spend a great amount of time practicing sports. Sports seem to be the best way to promote health besides helping the people to fill their leisure time. However, they spend too much time in sports that may neglect their studies and affect their family’s bond.

Young people that spend time on sports not only keep their bodies healthy but at the same time build a strong body. Teenagers who spend too much time studying and spend less on sports may obtain a very good result in academic studies but not in sports. Besides that, they are vulnerable against illnesses as their bodies are relatively weak.

Furthermore, sports help them to make full use of their time. By spending most of their time on sports, teenagers may not have enough time to spend on other bad activities such as illegal racing, smoking and drugs which will eventually spoil their future.

However, young people that spend too much time on sports may face a negative effect on their studies. This is because by spending too much time on sports, they may not have enough time to study. Even if they want to study, their exhausted body may not allow them to do so. This will eventually cause their academic performance to decline.

Besides that the relationship between teenagers and their family members will be affected. This is because most of their time were spend on the sports and they have no time to spend with their family as their remaining time are used on doing their homework and studies.

In conclusion, sports do give advantages to young people as it helps preserve their health besides ensuring their times were fully utilized. However, they should not be encouraged to spend too much time on sports as this will affect their studies and family’s relationship.

SPORTING EVENTS IN RUSSIA.

Sport has always been popular in our country. There are different sporting societies and clubs in Russia. Many of them take part in different international tournaments and are known all over the world. Russian sportsmen have set a great number of world records: gymnasts, weightlifters, tennis players, swimmers, figure skaters, runners, high jumpers. Our sportsmen take part in the Olympic Games and always win a lot of gold, silver and bronze medals. Millions of people watch figure skating competitions, hockey and football matches, car races, tennis tournaments and other sports events.

Certainly watching sports events and going in for sports arc two different things. Sport can be a profession and a business, it can be fun as well. Besides, it helps to stay in good shape, to keep fit and to be healthy.

Doing sports is becoming more and more popular. Some people do it occasionally - swimming in summer, skiing or skating in winter. But many people go in for sports on a more regular basis. I try to go to a swimming pool or a gym at least once a week for aerobics or yoga classes, body building or just work-out on a treadmill. Some people jog every morning, some play tennis. For those who can afford it there are clubs where they give lessons of scuba diving or riding. In spring and summer young people put on their roller-skates and skate in the streets and parks.

Sharapova Triumphs in U.S. Open

By Adam Kleszewski

Maria Sharapova.

Sharapova claimed the second Grand Slam title of her career with victory over Justine Hem'n-Hardenne 6-4 6-4 in the U.S. Open women's singles final.

She lost her opening service game but hit back with two breaks on her way to winning the first set, news agencies reported.

Sharapova took the second set with one break to win in one hour 30 minutes.

The 2004 Wimbledon champion said: "I'm still pretty shocked but richest female sportsperson in the world. She is said to have earned more than $25 mln in 2005, largely through a number of high-profile endorsement deals with major companies.

"I know it's hard for everyone to hear that I'm a normal girl," Sharapova said on Sunday. "I have a career at 19 years old. I've never gone to a regular school, I'm not a social bunny, I don't go babysitting to make an extra buck."

"At the end of the day, no matter how much money I'm making, what I've done in my career, no matter what cool cars or house I have, I'm still Maria, I'm still a normal girl who still enjoys life," she said.

Asked to comment on that after her U.S. Open triumph, which brought her an additonal US$1.7 million, a miffed Sharapova initially replied: "I'm not going to get into that right now." But after a moment's reflection she decided that attack was the best form of defence saying: "You can't buy a Grand Slam title, you know? You can't buy it!"

The 19-year-old former world number one, who has won WTA tour titles in San Diego and Indian Wells this year, is in third place in the WTA Tour champions race with 2,727 points.

Belgian Henin-Hardenne, beaten by Sharapova in Saturday's U.S. Open final, leads the standings on 3,473 points with Frenchwoman Mauresmo second on 2,735.

In the season-ending championships, which run from November 7-12, the top eight singles players and top four doubles teams will compete for a share of a prize purse worth $3 million. MN www.mn.ru/english | The Moscow News /№35 (4239)/15-21 September.

OLYMPICS

By Sojan Sec

When the International Olympic Committee holds its 119th session on July 4 in Guatemala City to elect the host city of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, Russian fans will be rooting hard for their candidate, Sochi.

SOCHI 2014

The Black Sea resort, predominanty known as many Russians' favored summertime vacation spot, has been shortlisted in acontest that initially featured applications from seven cities.

Last June, the IOC Candidature Acceptance Working Group announced results of the applications' survey, suggesting to the Executive Board to name Sochi, Austria's Salzburg and South Korea's Pyeongchang as candidate cities. Also-rans included Almaty (Kazakhstan), Jaca (Spain), Borjomi (Georgia) and Sofia (Bulgaria).In its rich sports history, Russia has already hosted the Olympics back in summer 1980 when the event was shunned by a U.S.-led bloc of Western nations protesting the Soviet Union's military campaign in war-torn Afghanistan. Despite the boycott, the Moscow games were a huge success and its organization said to be the best ever in the history of Olympics at the time.Several years ago, Moscow - now the supermodern capital of post­Soviet Russia - tried its luck again bidding to host the 2012 Summer Olympics. However, it stood little chance against heavily favored Paris and London, and as the news broke that the British capital had ultimately won the IOC vote, hardly anyone was surprised in Moscow. It took little time, though, for Russia to review its bidding prospects and launch a new campaign seeking to host, as the IOC puts it, "the largest and the most complex winter sports event in the world." Coming to grips with what the IOC labels as the "organization of 15 world championships in multiple locations over 16 days with one of the largest security operations in the world" didn't frighten Russian bidders. "Why should it?" they say. Wedged between the Black Sea coast and towering Caucasus mountains, Sochi is an extremely attractive venue, having a lot to offer to athletes, officials and media.

Moreover, the Sochi bid has received unanimous support of the Russian government, which earmarked $12 billion for the project regardless of the outcome of the IOC vote in early July. These investments will be made under a federal program running from 2006 to 2014, and will partly be allocated by Russia's private companies. As the preelection effort to showcase the opportunities offered by Sochi reaches its climax, it is no wonder that Russia's Olympic bid will be one of the highlights of the exhibition program at St. Petersburg's XI International Economic Forum.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, who from the very outset has backed the idea of Sochi hosting the Olympics, will definitely add more weight to the bid, both in his native St. Petersburg, where he will traditionally attend the forum, and in Guatemala City, which he plans to visit during the IOC's key session.Traditionally, Olympic bids receive strong government backing to push the effort through. In Putin's case, throwing support behind Sochi's nomination is almost a personal issue.Often dubbed the most sportsmanlike of all world leaders, Putin - a judo black belt who regularly swims and is an avid skier - has probably done more than anyone else on the Sochi bidding to promote the coastal city's effort to land the Olympics. Just as his predecessor Boris Yeltsin had given a major boost to tennis (in Soviet times considered a bourgeois sport and therefore shunned by many), Putin during his tenure has largely contributed to make skiing one of the most popular sportsteam among fellow Russians.

The picture of Russia's fit and ague president skillfully handling the slopes of his favorite Krasnaya Polyana mountain resort outside Sochi has become a trademark image of Putin during his winter breaks in the area.Yet there is more to Putin's promo­tional efforts than a mere demonstration of his good skiing skills - the Russian leader was also at hand in February when the IOC Evaluation Commission members spent four days in the region assessing Sochi's prospects. "I don't have the slightest doubt that, if Russia gains the right to host the Olympic Games in Sochi, we will handle this task," Putin told IOC inspectors then.He rejected to rate the candidate cities' chances, but added that Sochi had better places to offer than its competitors."Sport is always a battle, accompanied by many unexpected circumstances. I am sure that the Olympics will be interesting, and who wins - time will tell," said Putin.
